Finally got a glimpse of Woody Allen's directing skills

After reading the movie reviews, I learned a new word "love sketch", which is really accurate. Jazz, Hollywood, Beauty, Golden, Fantasy, Crime, Jewish, Religious. The movie is not only gorgeous, but also sharp. Seeing other film critics saying Woody Allen has softened a bit in this film, and that the previous films had a more ironic depiction of the world, I wanted to see it more.

Sometimes, after watching a movie, I feel "Ah, so empty", but not this time. On the one hand, the film is fast-paced (after all, an actor who speaks very fast, Jessie, who I liked very much in junior high school), does not leave time in the fast-paced and feels empty. On the other hand, the movie is not only about clichéd love, but there are other layers that describe it in parallel, such as the crime of my brother, which always made me subconsciously think that Bobby would also die because he took over his brother's night club, but he didn't.

A movie with more than one element of this is enough to keep me from being empty, but the bigger reason is because the movie is so beautiful. The last movie that made me sigh "saving aesthetics" was "Haijie Diary", and this movie feels the same way. Scene, composition, color (LA is too golden, golden fantasy)

Put a few pictures, of course, the heroine contributed most of it.

But unfortunately, I don't know the names of Hollywood movie actors who report the name of the dish. I must have missed a lot of Woody Allen's "irony" objects and missed another layer.

Today is the fourth day of the 2021 November holiday, cloudy, no rain, a little cold, very comfortable. My parents went to the building materials city, and I was still escaping from studying.

    I like the setting of the first half, the uncle ignores the nephew's love, and it is not until they fall in love with the same woman that they begin to communicate. On top of that, there's Woody's cinephile love for 1930s Hollywood.

    Better than the previous two years of movies. People have to choose, not to choose is also a choice. Choice brings regrets, and regrets will create a commotion factor, and you are not as refined as you thought at first, nostalgia is a way of remembering the past in the vulgar. A little melancholy, a little fun, and a sketch with a nostalgic atmosphere. JE is good, BL has no play, KS has a clear sense of discord, she is too modern and doesn't have a sense of the 1930s. By the way, the "Candy" Anna Camp that the male protagonist just came to LA to find is quite interesting.
